Nothings set in stone yet. I still have a set of 295/40's sitting in a closet that won't be going on until just before the Toledo Pro.

As I'm not all that great with tire sizing, how much tire can I safely get on a 10" wheel?

I'm my book, 10% over. That's a 279 tire or in this case a 285.

Why the heck are you using a 10" wheel on an ASP car? 18x12's at a minimum...
